1. Provide a diversion to write columns and avoid the "spread the wealth" discussion that started the whole thing.
2. Destroy the man who dared to ask the fake messiah a question that tripped him up.
3. Serve as a warning to any future questioners.
You are so right! Here we have a candidate who imply that he wants to 'spread the wealth' around to everyone, but what he really means is that he wants to spread it around to his family and cronies.
Though he's battling GOP accusations that he's an Ivy League elitist, Barack Obama has a lifestyle of the rich and famous, like TV show host Robin Leach, who always signed off, "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!" While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne",a tipster told New York Post, Page Six." the web page has been taken down. http://www.nypost.com/seven/10172008/gossip/pagesix/obamas_fancy_snack_133922.htm Find here links to the many articles which refered to the page while it was still up.
I don't know about any of you, but I couldn't order that kind of meal on a special occasion let alone at four o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon. I mean, how out of touch with reality are these people? They're trying to sell themselves as ordinary Americans, but they continue to do things that are far from ordinary.
What bothers me even more is the fact that they would actually spend so much money for room service. Is this the kind of thing we can expect to pay for if they win the White House? We want a President to stop wasting our money, not waste it on fancy foods that ordinary people will never be able to afford.
And the worst slap in the face is the fact that she ordered IRANIAN caviar. Maybe it's really good caviar (it must be since it sells for like $125 an ounce), but does she not have any idea what's going on with Iran right now? Maybe that's why Obama is willing to sit down with Iran without preconditions. Maybe he just wants to score some cheap Iranian caviar?
